Chapter 59 - Incomplete Journey

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Broken roads, a windless afternoon. The sun's rays burned the ground, causing the hot air to continuously rise. In the end, the shadows created by the rays of light twisted and distorted the road in the distance, making it seem unreal. Just like this world, he would never know what tomorrow would be like.

Perhaps they were reborn, or perhaps they were destroyed.

Zero sat on the shoulder of the road with the heavy locomotive beside him. He pressed his hand to his temple. The constant waves of pain that came from the depths of his head made Zero feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, this wave of pain was weakening with the passage of time. Now, it was as weak as a needle, almost negligible.

The pain came from accurately calculating when he was trying to dodge Lafite's attack, and killing a target more than 1000 meters away was not difficult at all. As for Zero, it was not as simple as saying it would be if he had to shoot the same bullet point twice.

From the calculation of the trajectory to the resistance of the bullet passing through the air, the interference of the wind during its journey, even the terrain and magnetic field could affect the final bullet point. The first bullet pierced through Lafite's elemental field, and the second shot forward to take his life. This seemed like a simple operation, but it required complicated and precise calculations. This level of data processing exceeded the amount that a zero brain could handle.

Zero had been very lucky not to die of cerebral hemorrhage on the spot, so having a headache for a while was not a big deal. He knew that after breaking through the limits of his brain, the development of his neural field could be said to have taken a big step forward. As for what would happen in the future, it was unclear whether the consequences would be good or bad. All he knew was that the next time he did a calculation of such a huge equivalent, he should be able to press the trigger a little faster.

Zero stood up, feeling weak. It took a great deal of energy to calculate the amount of energy that was needed to exceed his brain, so when the bottle of water and bread was handed to him, he took it without hesitation and quickly ate it out of his sight.

Su and Lea looked at this kind of zeroing in surprise. In their understanding, Zero always looked calm and quiet. After he finished eating the bread and water, he still felt that it was not enough, thus he used up all three of the Nutrient Su very quickly. This amount was more than four times that of his normal weight. For someone who could move around for a day or two after drinking 200 milliliters of water, this amount of food was enough for him to eat for 10 days to 15 months.

"Are you alright?" Su looked at the suddenly transformed Zero, more curiosity in her eyes than concern.

Zero could feel his body breaking down the food he ate into pure energy at an abnormally terrifying speed, and the energy flowed into his body and limbs in a steady stream. All sense of weakness was gone, and his body was once again filled with energy. This made Zero calm down.

Looking at Su, she nodded at her and said, "It's fine, I'm just a bit hungry. By the way, it's all thanks to you this time. "Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

"Nothing, I also want to settle accounts with these two bastards. To be honest, I'm the only one who can't do it, but the more you can, the more you'll be different. " Su patted his sword again: "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you for the good materials. It allowed my sword to reduce its weight by a third, while my attack speed increased by nearly half. This is equivalent to increasing my fighting strength, so it's very fair to help you this time. "

Zero smiled. Su did not try to conceal her goal, and at the same time, saw her inadequacies. She also did not deny that aiding Ling was also helping him. This answer suited her needs, and she could feel that the relationship between the two of them was getting closer. Although she was not at the level of a friend, she was at least not a stranger.

Friendship in the wilderness was rare, and true friends were even rarer. There was no eternal friend or enemy in this world. It was the same in the old era, but even more so in the new era.

"So, where do you plan on going next?" Zero helped up the heavy locomotive and asked as he inspected it.

Returning the sword back to the leather sword sheath on his back, Su looked into the distant wilderness. Quest, earn money, then buy information, find enemies. "This cycle will probably continue for a very long time."

The heavy locomotive's shell was a little worn out, but the parts were still intact. Zero picked it up and tried to start it. Suddenly, a series of growls came from the engine, indicating that the engine was not damaged.

Looking at the zero-engine car, Su did not ask where he was going. She suddenly pulled Zero over and gave him a kiss on her face. When Zero and Lea were still in shock, Su turned and left.

"Next time we meet, remember to buy me a drink, pretty boy."

Looking at Su who looked like a bandit leaving the road and rushing into the wilderness, Zero shook his head. He knew that the kiss just now meant that Su wanted to return the favor. Whether it was in terms of style or conduct, this woman full of the style of the wilderness, Zero felt that he was beginning to like her.

"Let's go. Our journey is far from over." Su Yun said to Lea.

Lea recovered and got on the locomotive, hugging Zero tightly.

Wherever the journey ended, she would accompany it to the end of her life.

Three days after he left Remot, Theon welcomed a noble guest.

This guest had the light golden hair of a noble and wore a dark red leather robe. The chest of this guest had a sword and shield embroidered on it, representing a mysterious organization in the world of Zhong Zhou.

Dark Council!

It was said before, that the Dark Council was the true master of the Mainland China. The Dark Council possessed unimaginable resources and powers. Their influence range spread to known corners of all the Mainland China. Although the Dark Council and the rest of the mainland's corporate base maintained a relatively loose relationship, they did not have a clear subordinate. However, no one was willing to offend Dark Council, and Remot was no exception.

The guest in front of Theon was named Soren. He was young, but already a captain, with a private force of a hundred men. This private army was very well-equipped from the point of view of manpower. One could imagine that they would be able to fight extremely efficiently on the battlefield. However, Soren's group seemed to have encountered a battle before. This could be seen from the hidden rage on the young guests and the faint smell of blood on the bodies of the soldiers.

Theon's eyes had always been poisonous.

Never offend a team that just stepped down from the battlefield, no matter how weak it looked. The killing intent of the soldiers who had just left the battlefield remained strong. If they were offended, no one could say what would happen. Especially when this team belonged to the Dark Council, Theon's principle had naturally been raised to the highest priority.

"What can I do for you, esteemed Soren?" Theon had a faint smile on his face as he asked.

Soren asked his followers to take out a tablet computer that was no thicker than five centimeters. This was the standard set for each Knight of Blood. It was connected to the Dark Council's intelligence brain, and because of the difference in authority, it had various functions.

Among those functions, photo storage was undoubtedly the most basic one. Soren moved his finger and quickly brought out two photos, "Tell me, where are these two people now? I know they came to Remot, so don't challenge my intelligence in this regard. "

Theon was still smiling, but when he saw the photo, he was slightly startled.

The pictures were of a man and woman, whom Theon did not know, but the president of the trade union recognized that it was zero.

Looking at Soren, Theon could clearly sense the strong smell of gunpowder on his body. It could be seen that Soren was in a very bad mood right now. Theon didn't want to, and he didn't dare to play any tricks with Soren. Although he liked the soldier Zero, but if the one on the other side of the scale was the Dark Council, Theon would turn to the other side without hesitation.
